PTC Resettable Fuses

Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) resettable fuses are self-resettable, fuse-like, overcurrent protection devices that can be used in a variety of applications. The most common type is the 60R300XF type, which is often used in consumer electronics, power supplies, and other communications and industrial control applications.

The 60R300XF is a multi-layered device which contains several layers of semiconductor material held in place with a semi-circular metal shell. It is designed to protect against fault currents of up to 0.3A. When an excessive current passes through the 60R300XF, the temperature in the device rises. This causes the semiconductor material to deform, forcing the metal shell inward and activating a reset mechanism. The high temperature of the device also dissipates the excessive current.

Once the temperature of the device drops back to its original level, the reset mechanism triggers a spring-loaded metal disk inside the device to open again. This allows the current to flow again, thus resetting the device.

The 60R300XF device is primarily used in electronic applications where a safe, reliable overcurrent protection is required. While this type of device does have its advantages, it also has its drawbacks. Specifically, these devices can be unreliable in high-voltage or high-current applications.

To overcome this limitation, hybrid resettable fuses have been developed which use both a PTC element and a thermal or gravity switch. These hybrid devices provide excellent overcurrent protection while avoiding the issue of reliability. They also allow for a variety of reset speeds, giving designers more flexibility.

In addition to providing overcurrent protection, the 60R300XF and other PTC resettable fuse devices can also be used in applications requiring temperature or overvoltage protection. By combining the device with a temperature sensor, thermal fuse, or overvoltage switch, designers can create a robust, reliable, and cost-effective solution for their applications.

In conclusion, the 60R300XF is an important part of many electronic applications. The PTC element of the device ensures a safe, reliable overcurrent protection, while the reset mechanism allows the device to reset itself after an overcurrent event. The ability to use the device in overvoltage and temperature protection applications increases its usefulness.
